phone number
. we're now able to show it all because it's been disconnected. but as soon as it aired this morning, panic set in and the calls started coming.

>>oh, it's happening!

>>oh, my god.

>>kathy?

>>i have 20 voice mails. 22. 23. oh! oh, my god.

>>i think it's funny.

>>they stopped counting after about 1,000 people got in touch with her. hoda told us tonight she's had that
phone number
for 15 years. her friends and family will be notified of her new number. the rest of her viewers will just have to wait until the next phone demonstration.
